Oh god, I don't even want to think of that stage. Let's see, I had juices, broth, water, and pretty much popsicles. I'm still living on those. I'm 2 1/2 weeks out of RNY and on the soft food stage. Good luck!!

It really wasn't so bad knowing that I'd finally made it to surgery. I had surgery last monday. It's Thursday and I'm getting hungry. I'm starting to put protein powder in everything. The ones from Unjury are great! After surgery the drugs kept me from even thinking about food. They probably will you too. I took me until wednesday to realize i was hungry again. Now I'm hoping to make it to next Tuesday so I can go to soft foods. I never knew how exciting that could be!

I would cook ramen and just drink the soup, or strain chicken noodle soup and drink that. Those were my favorites.
